Abstract
This trial was conducted to investigate effects of different feeding types of conventional or total mixed rations (TMR) provision on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, nitrogen retention and blood metabolite characteristics in different breeds of native and cross bred Korean black goats. Ten Korean native male goats and 10 Korean crossbred black male goats (Korean native $\times$ Australian feral crossbred, 50:50), average 18 kg of BW, were used in this trial, and each breed of Korean black goats was separated into conventional and TMR diets treatments in a randomized complete block design. Conventional diet was based on forages and commercial diet. All animals were housed in individual metabolism crates and were fed ad libitum. Water was available at all times. Experimental period totally lasted for 38 days, consisting of 14 days of adaptation, 10 days of preliminary period and 14 days of sample collection period. Daily dry matter intake was significantly (p<0.05) higher in TMR treatments of the crossbred goats. Within breeds, crossbred rather than native-bred consumed more highly, and within the feeding type, TMR diets were more fed in comparison with conventional diet. Average daily gain ranked the highest in crossbred : TMR, followed by crossbred: conventional diet, native-bred: TMR, and native-bred: conventional diet (p<0.05). Dry matter digestibility was significantly (p<0.05) higher for TMR than for conventional diets, and it was higher in crossbred than in native-bred Korea black goats. Nitrogen retention was highest in TMR treatments of crossbreed, whereas it was lowest in conventional diet of native breed (p<0.05). Plasma glucose and urea nitrogen concentrations were significantly (p<0.05) higher in crossbred than in native-bred Korean black goats. Overall, the results indicated that feeding total mixed ration to crossbred rather than native-bred Korean black goats had more favourable influences on their performances, intakes, digestibility, nitrogen retention and blood metabolite characteristics. In conclusion, it is conceived that the results may contribute to economical benefit to farms producing Korean black goats together with establishment of an efficient feeding management system.
본 시험은 흑염소의 효율적인 사양관리체계의 확립에 기여하기 위하여, 재래흑염소 10두(male)와 교잡흑염소(재래흑염소$\times$호주야생염소 교잡종; 50:50%) 10두(male)를 공시하여, 시판 배합사료와 조사료를 급여하는 관행사료와 TMR 사료를 각각 급여하였을 때, 흑염소의 사료섭취량, 영양소소화율, 질소축적율 및 혈액성상에 미치는 영향을 조사하였으며, 실험기간은 사료 적응기간 14일 예비기간 10일을 거친 후, 14일간의 본 실험 기간을 두어 총 38일간 실시하였다. 결과를 살펴보면 1일 두당 건물의 섭취량은 TMR을 급여한 교잡종이 가장 높았고(p<0.05), 품종간에서는 재래종 보다 교잡종지, 사료급여체계간에는 관행구보다 TMR구가 높았다(p<0.05). 일당증체량은 재래종 관행구, 재래종 TMR구, 교잡종 관행구, 교잡종 TMR구의 순으로 유의하게 높아졌다(p<0.05). 건물 소화율은 사료급여체계간에서는 TMR구가 관행구보다 유의하게 높았으며, 품종간에도 교잡종이 재래종 보다 높았다(p<0.05). 질소축적량 및 질소축적율은 교잡종 TMR구가 가장 높았고, 재래종 관행구가 가장 낮았다(p<0.05). 혈중 glucose의 함량과 PUN(plasma urea nitrogen)은 교잡종이 재래종 보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과를 종합하면, TMR 형태의 사료급여가 재래종 보다는 교잡종에 흑염소의 생산성과 사료섭취량, 소화율, 질소축적을 및 혈액성상에 양호한 영향을 나타내어, 효율적인 사양관리체계의 확립과 함께 흑염소 생산농가에 경제적 이득을 줄 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
